DOOR STOP AND HOLDER.

SFECIPICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 311,836, dated February 3, 1885.

Application filed June 12, 1854.

T aZZ whom it may concern/.-

Be it known that we, SIDNEY \V. JAY and MIoHAnL J. Giinvnr, both citizens of the United States, residing at Toledo, in the county of Lucas and State of Ohio, have invented new and useful Improvements in Door Stops and Holders for Doors, Blinds, Gates, 850., of which the following is a specification. Our invention relates to improvements in IO door stops and holders such as are required to form a stop for a door to strike against and prevent the knob of the door from striking the wall or wood-work or other things against which it may swing back, and also to I 5 form a catch or holder to retain a door in an open position against a draft of air, or to prevent a door from swinging shut by the force of gravitation when it is hung out of plumb, &c.

The object of our invention is to produce a universal door stop and holder for all kinds of doors, shutters, gates, &o., that can be set at any angle and meet any case required, and so constructed, also, by means of a rubber disk or cushion under the base of it, that it can be easily adjusted in case the door sags and changes its position alittle. WVe attain these objects by means of the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in

whicht Figure 1 represents the device as attached in one manner to the door and the floor. Fig.

2 represents the device as attached in an.

other manner to the door andthe mop'board,

5 with the door thrown back and the stop and holder in locked position. Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail view of the stop-standard ot' the device and its rubber cushion. Fig. 4 is an enlarged detail view of the holder-standard 0 of the device. Fig. 5 is an end view of the holder; Fig. 6, a plan view of the rubber disk or cushion, and Fig. 7 an end view of Fig. 3.

The lower section of a door, A, the hinge H, the section of a wall, B, the section of a mop-board, D, and the section of a floor, 0,

are but the ordinary parts of a house, ear, or

other structure to which our invention may be applied.

E is a conical shank, terminating at its base (No model.)

in cars or a flange, c, and terminating at its top in a ball, 0, in which is inserted on any part of its surface, as the case may demand,

a rubber stop, J. The ears or flange c are arranged with holes for screws to secure it to the floor or other thing to which it is to be attached.

I is a rubber cushion or gasket, placed under the base 6 of the stop-standard E, which forms a spring to allow the balls 6 andf to pass each other, and also forms a means of 5 adjusting the ball 6 to the ballf by the loosening or tightening of the screws in the ears or flange c.

F is a conical shank, terminating at its base in cars or a flange, f, with holes "for screws, 6 and terminating at its top in a ball,f, all of which forms the holder-standard.

Having described in detail the parts of our invention and the manner of securing them in working position, it remains only, to secure the perfect working of the invention, to secure the stop-standard E and the holder standardI in their respective places, so that the balls 6 andf can be brought in contact with each other and be easily forced apart by the 7 yielding of the rubber cushion I, the rubber stop J in the ball 6 coming against the door A. It may be clearly seen that the two locking-surfaces being halls, they bear the same relation to each other in whatever position they may be placed.

Having thus set forth our invention in de scription, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A door stop or holder consisting of the 8 conical shank F, having the ballf at one end and the flange f at the other end, secured to the door, and the conical shank E, having the ball 6 atone end and the flange e at the other end, secured to the floor or washboard, said balls being constructed and arranged to interlock when the door is thrown open, substan tially as described.

2. The conical shank E, having at one end the ball 6, provided at its outer portion with 5 the attached projecting elastic stop J, in combination with the shank F, having the ballf, substantially as described.

3. In a door, gate, or shutter stop and holder, the ball f, with itsconical shank Rand its ears or flange f, in combination with the In testimony whereof we have hereunto set our hands and sealsin the presence of two sub :0 scribing Witnesses.
